Welcome to Gaia! ::

Place your comments about the system here and anything you find right/wrong.

See, I don't really get the thing you just said about judges...we're talking about during a battle, right?

You don't have to do any more with the system--we can just use the mechanics you've already laid out. For example, E rank abilities that deal damage do between 1 and 3. So, when someone uses such an ability, they use the random number generator in that same post to figure the "potential" damage. Afterwards, if the opponent can decide whether or not to try and evade or block the attack--it may not be worth it to block 1 damage.

On the other side, take for example Chouji's Punch and Kick techniques. I don't remember the exact numbers, but let's just say Punch does 1 and Kick does 3. Why would Chouji ever want to use Punch if Kick is essentially the exact same, but does more damage? Sure we could argue RP context, but ultimately that just affects how the writer writes their action.

I bring this up because it's a problem that occurs frequently with Nanashi, the RPG I help moderate. You'd have some attacks that deal 500 and others where, aside from the attack itself, was no different except that it dealt 1,000. As a result, no one really used the 500 attacks and everyone was learning the 1,000 attacks, and it resulted in a drop of creativity in RP/character development.

I'd love to ^_^ Nanashi's not very active at the moment, and I kinda miss messing with systems and such like "the good ol' days" xD

While you're here still here, I couldn't figure out how to calculate the following:

Max Amount of CP that can be drawn per post
SP Regeneration per Post
CP Regeneration per Post

Halp? D:

Okay, thanks. I'll read it when I get back ^^'

Really, still trying to pawn off this system again?

It's why a bunch of us left Konoha in the first place, Jag. It's gonna kill what little membership you ahve left. Your insistence on this thing just pisses people off. We RP because we enjoy it. When you reduce it to something so overpolluted with rules that it becomes a chore, people give up.

Problems on your list of Universal Jutsu:

C-Rank

Name: Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Substitute Technique)
* Is actually a Konohagakure specific technique. Each of the other villages has a unique version of the body Substitution such as "Water Substitution" or "Sand Substitution" that is specific to the village they come from.

B-Rank

Name: Raidan (Thunder Shot)
* Prerequisite: Raiton (Thunder Release) //Any Lightning technique requires use of Raiton, which is the Thunder Release. While it isn't necessary that the user have a lightning affinity, they need to be able to mould and manipulate Lightning Chakra.

Name: Harijizou (Needle Guardian of the Travelers)
* Is actually a Konohagakure specific technique. It was invented by Jiraiya of the Sannin and as such is one of the 'secret' techniques held by Konohagakure.

Name: Fuuka Houin (Fire Sealing Technique)
* Prerequisite: Katon (Fire Release) //Any Fire technique requires use of Katon, which is the Fire Release. While it isn't necessary that the user have a fire affinity, they need to be able to mould and manipulate Fire Chakra.

Name: Kage Bushin no Jutsu (Shadow Clone Technique)
* Was originally a forbidden technique held by Konohagakure and stolen by Naruto Uzumaki, this is in no way a technique that everybody can use as it is technically considered 'illegal'. Also, due to the Shadow nature of the technique there is large suspicion this technique was developed and hidden by the Nara clan, so this more accurately should be in the clan jutsu's.

Name: Shishienjin (Four Point Formation of Purple Flame)
* I don't remember exactly who used this but I believe it was either a Sound Four or Konohagakure ANBU unique technique, which in no way means it is Universal. This is much closer to a group combination technique than anything else.

A-Rank

Name: Karabuto no Jutsu (Air Thickening Technique)
* Prerequisite: Suiton (Water Release) //Any Water technique requires use of Katon, which is the Water Release. While it isn't necessary that the user have a water affinity, they need to be able to mould and manipulate Water Chakra.

* - Indicated the corrected portion of that jutsu.

PS: That's all the corrections that need to be made in the Ninjutsu list, but there are also problems in the other lists if you'd like me to help you spot them. Specifically the Water Walking and Surface Scaling. The way and order that those two are taught is definitely a village specific thing. Some villages like Sunagakure will follow the same pattern as Konohagakure, learning to walk up trees and other structures before walking on water. But others such as Kirigakure will probably start by walking on water due to its abundance and work backwards towards walking up structures. So having one technique as a perquisite for the other in your Universal Jutsu's kinda doesn't work. Also, you should have added all of the Elemental releases, because the ability to release an elemental is fundamental in every ninja and can be learned by those from all villages.

Last: The idea of Universal Jutsu's in the first place without bothering to consult the other villages is somewhat of a slap in the face. You are in effect defining what others can and cannot do without asking what they think about the matter. I'm certain the other villages wouldn't be happy about being placed in a box like that in the same way that you wouldn't be happy if they tried to do something like this to you. Think before you act this rashly Shikamaru, Konohagakure is no longer 'the boss' in this community.
